Promoter hypermethylation of tumor‐related genes in the progression of colorectal neoplasia
30 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Gene promoter hypermethylation is increasingly recognized to play an important role in cancer development through silencing of gene transcription. This study determined the methylation profiles of primary colorectal cancers and adenomas to elucidate the role of epigenetic changes in different stages of colorectal carcinogenesis. We examined the methylation profiles of 47 sporadic colorectal cancers, 36 colonic...
